How does Xizor die?

I just finished the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy for the second time, and still found no answer to how Xizor died. Can anyone enlighten me?

 

Blown to bits by the Executor

 

Could you give a little more detail, ie. why and when?

 

Shadows of the Empire explains quite better than I can.

Simply put, Vader traps him on his skyhook and kills him for treason, for trying to kill Luke and usurp Vader to become the Emperor's right-hand man.

 

they had their mano-y-mano fight before the skyhook incident. xizor only escaped death when the emperor restrained vader for trying to kill the Empire's #1 contractor.

no one likes it when they start outsourcing your company's work.

 

I think it was left slightly open in case they wanted Xizor to survive, but apparently they chose to leave him dead.

 

Xizor go boom!

 

In the end Xizor learned a very important lesson. Vader was not someone he could toy with and expect to get away with it.

 

If you take the final mission of the Shadows N64 game into account, Xizor's skyhook also got blown up by Dash Rendar destroying the reactor, presumably right as Vader fired on him with his Super Star Destroyer.

As part of that, he also learned that messing with the child of a Dark Lord is a really bad idea...

 

I suppose he had a knack for biting off more than he could chew.

Thanks for the information.

 

Was Xizor like a good fighter or something...cause he seems like some weak green dude to me..what made him so importnat?

 

Think a green Bruce Lee, mohican.

 

Bounty Hunter wars?

What about the Boba Fett Trilogy (same thing?)

When is that set?

While Xizor was fairly well trained in self-defense, his strength came more from his cold cunning than anything else. He was the third most powerful man in the galaxy after Vader and the Emperor, a crime lord whose vast criminal empire covered quite an expansive outreach. Because of this, he gained alot of favor with Palpatine as a contractor, but also because he enjoyed pitting Vader and Xizor against each other for his own amusement.

 

I mean:

The Mandalorian Armour

Slave Ship

Hard Merchandise

It says on TF.N review:

Boba Fett has just crawled out of the Sarlacc as seen in Tales of the Bounty Hunters. He's alive, but only barely. Dengar and a mysterious woman named Neelah help save him from certain death in the Dune Sea. However, some people are taking absolutely no chances that Fett may be alive. They go out of their way to make sure he's dead. Who are they? Why are they doing it?

But it's set after ANH. Explanation?

 

Mandalorian Armor, Slave Ship, and Hard Merchandise are The Bounty Hunter War Trilogy not Boba Fett Trilogy.


-The Scummy-

 

It's interesting to think that Xizor actually met his end in the way vader had dealt with the plague that caused xizor to hate him so much. Sterilization by turbolazer.

 

ok rouge wookie and the other guy who explained stuff to me = )

 

Speaking of Xizor, what were the specs for his warship Vendetta?

 

Your mean the Virago?

 

He also messed with Vader's daughter

Anyways, here is a cool Xizor Pic which seems shows you his character, though you only see his torso, you can see he is elegant, yet cruel and unforgiving
